Abstract
Waste banks solve the waste problem by involving the community in waste sorting and processing, which contributes to improving the local economy. This research aims to explore the implementation of the performance of waste banks from economic, social, and environmental aspects, as well as the sustainability strategy of waste banks in Makassar City. This research uses qualitative descriptive analysis. The results showed that waste banks in Makassar City have fulfilled two pillars of sustainability: economic and environmental. This is evident from the increased income of the community, especially the low-income ones, and the effectiveness of waste management that supports waste reduction. However, these waste banks still face social challenges, mainly related to the community's low participation and the manager's non-optimal role. To improve sustainability, this study proposes several strategies, such as increasing community participation through socialisation and social media to educate the importance of waste management, affirming waste sorting regulations, strengthening the role of waste bank managers, and improving facilities and infrastructure that support waste bank operations. Implementing these strategies is expected to ensure that waste banks in Makassar City operate sustainably.
